The organization has become an absolute joke since the loss of Mr. McGregor.

There won&#39;t be any changes until the sheep stop showing up in droves and continually supporting a terrible product. Who cares about playoffs when you have a party deck?

-The bu...Why injuries can&#39;t be a valid excuse:<br /><br />-The bullpen has suffered only 1 injury the entire season (Logan). Simply stated, our bullpen has been HEALTHY and absolutely AWFUL<br /><br />-DLR and Chacin were supposed to be co-aces with Brett Anderson as a strong 3rd. Chacin and DLR have been healthy pretty much all year and have been absolutely awful.<br /><br />-You speak the truth on Anderson and Chatwood, no need to re-iterate. 100% agree.<br /><br />-Juan Nicasio??? Juan effing Nicasio? How&#39;s he been the past, oh I don&#39;t know, FOREVER seasons! 1 good start, followed by 3 crap performances.<br /><br />-Jordan Lyles has promise but given prior performance, one could only conclude that he is more likely a flash in the pan than solid MLB starter.<br /><br />-As for position players, sure injuries are going to happen. What separates us from quality clubs is our lack of depth. We&#39;ve been hearing about Story, Wheeler, Dahl, etc. for years. Arenado injury was huge, but according to O&#39;Dowd Wheeler is a viable MLB starter. They&#39;ve been singing his praises for years! How&#39;s he been working out? Simply put there is no Farm System depth. They don&#39;t have replacements.<br /><br />-Every pitching staff is going to have injuries. Outside of Tyler Matzek the Rockies haven&#39;t been able to fill injury holes with a single pitcher from the minors. Most would agree that bringing up Friedrich, Bergman, and Yohan Flande (not a single one with a respectable ERA) proves HOW BAD THE STATE OF PITCHING IS WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION.Jordan Ambronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01379980743444569356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969572709836208987.post-67174353787063215392014-06-26T09:37:32.673-06:002014-06-26T09:37:32.673-06:00The quick fix is to find a new un-biased team pres...The quick fix is to find a new un-biased team president and remove Dick from that role. Ever since Keli McGregor has passed, this team seems to be just flailing in the wind like a rudderless boat.<br /><br />I do like many of our position players and O&#39;Dowd did a good job this offseason by acquiring Morneau and the Dex trade looks like it will work out well.So I will give him his due there.<br /><br />The issue is on the pitching side as always...I didn&#39;t mind taking a shot on Anderson but the Logan deal I didnt like from day one. I also think they put too much pressure on these kids coming up through the minors to be the saviors instead of a cog in the machine to help the team and not be the one to rescue it.<br /><br />The other issue is expecations....Chachin for one...they considered him the co-ace of the staff. He has probably been the biggest failure this season. DLR is on a contract year and is also not performing like a team ace. To me, Chatwood belongs in the pen due to his injury issues and small stature (similar to Huston Street), depending on Nicasio year after year....he is another guy that belongs in the pen and not a starter with his arsenal of 2 pitches.<br /><br /> I&#39;m a fan and I can see this....can&#39;t someone in this organization see it?Mike Savinohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12940266862410846738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969572709836208987.post-43251180209557385402014-06-26T07:42:53.824-06:002014-06-26T07:42:53.824-06:00Not only a new GM but the coaching staff up and do...Not only a new GM but the coaching staff up and down the organization needs to be reevaluated, seriously. Mediocrity needs to be a reason for firing, not a promotion and a raise. Seriously, I&#39;m glad that I don&#39;t read about the Rockies players in &quot;scandal sheets,&quot; but we are supposed to be fielding a baseball team and not a church group. &quot;Character&quot; should not be the deciding factor on who takes the field.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969572709836208987.post-2722855053413212262014-06-26T07:02:05.895-06:002014-06-26T07:02:05.895-06:00If Dick Monfort truly watches every Rox game then ...If Dick Monfort truly watches every Rox game then he can&#39;t be that ignorant to believe that O&#39;Dowd is doing a great job.
